| "The Web" by Marjorie Alexander |
The
International Exhibition of Contemporary Textile Art “Miniartextil” will be
exhibiting a paper sculpture by Marjorie at the prestigious Villa Olmo in Como , Italy Paris ,
France , and Venice , Italy
Marjorie’s
work, “The Web,” is her interpretation of the theme of the exhibition “Agora,”
a Greek word that indicates the heart of the polis, where people meet to exchange and compare ideas. Today,
the Internet Web is the site where people exchange different experiences and
interpretations of their social and business life.
Not
only is the form of Marjorie’s work symbolic of the modern Agora, but the
fibers she used, a web-like bleached fiber she discovered in South Korea, but
made in the Philippines from the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus), and another fiber (Brooussonetia papyrifera) from Korea, reflect the global scope of
the interchange now possible with the Internet.
